Enlarged.

A great deal of hustle and activity
was noticeable in tho large establish
msnt Of the Memphis saddlery Com-
pany, 1922 Main street, Yesterday and
for several days past. NltwitGstand-
ing the fact that both employers and
employees are always on the move, at.
tending to the demands OF business,
there was significant expression on
the faces Of all, indicating something
out of the usual run OF affairs. An
APPEAL representative went ol a
skirmish for the cause, and encoun-
tered Mr.. Jacob Meyer, OF the firm of
Meyer, Bannerman & Co., OF st.
Louis.
"Is not this an off season for so
much activity in this line OF bust

Ordinarily, yes" replied Mr..
Meyer. 81 understand, and fortu.
nately, too, that you have no of

Motion for a New Trial Made and
Granted.

BUFFALO, N. Y, May 18.-In the
oil conspiracy case this morning, At
torney Coggswell, for the defense,
stated that he wished to make a mo-
ton for new trial. Judge Hsight
eaid he did not know but it would be
desirable to have the opinion oil the

would be advisable to have the case
taken there as soon as possible. II
that met the views OF the attorneys,
he would grant stay that II might be
done.
. Mr.. Coggswell said that the motion
Was that the case be presented to the
court by September lst.

TRAGEDY At WILMINGTON
TAOj. 0. KENNEDY FILLED WITH
BUCK SHOT FROM A
Double BArreled shotgun In the
Hands Of Geo. ii. arlington
Under Arrest.

Millington, small town on the
Chesapeake, Ohio and Southwestern
road, about fourteen miles from Mem.
phis, was the scene OF fatal shooting
affray at II 80 O'Clock yesterday morn
ing. Tbs facts, 80 far az known, are
that Mr.. George II. Millington, for
whom the place was named, shot and
killed Mr.. thomas 0. Kennedy. The
cause Of the difficulty Is supposed to
have grown out OF Kennedy's arrest,
some time ago, for selling liquor
without license. He was found by
three deputy shsrifls and a United
States NJ irsbsl at No. 1873 Main street,
and on learning their mission violently
objected, making 1t warm for the otfi-
Gers. He was finally overpowered,
however, and lodged in jail until the
day OF trial, which came off soon after.
A sentence of $50 fac and sixty days
in the workhouse was imposed.
The fine he paid, and rela-
tives arranged with q substi-
tnte for the Imprisonment. From the
first he suspected Millington Of COM
plicity In bringing about the iDdict-
ment, and cherished a bitter grudge.
Lately he has grown 80 restless under
this conviction that frequent threats
have been made which led friends of
Millington to warn him to prepare. A
day or two since Kennedy boldly an
nou ced that the next meeting would
settle the affair, and the threatened
individual went armed with q shot
pun. The meeting came yesterday.
Kennedy was sitting on the front
porch Of the store Of Mr.. Early, who
is also postmaster. Millington
CHANGED to be passing that way, and
on seeing him Kennedy made dem
onstrati0n as II 10 draw pistol,
got the drop with his shot |
gun and emptied both barrels, loaded |
with buckshot.
AS soon as possible after the
shooting, MilinRton telegraphed
Sheriff Cannon, announcing his
oredioament, and that he was
wiling TO surrender. Deputy Sheriff
Dean Pipe went up on the $50
,'clock,train in the evening and found
lis man awaiting him. He claims it
vas In self defense, aud the citize0s
generally sustain him. Kennedy was
egard,d SO a dangerous character.
ar Pops will return with his prisoner
his morning. Both parties were well
,nown and possessed Of property.
ellington is farmer, about thirty.
light years Of age, married and has
nany friends. Kennedy was about
wenty five years Of age, unmarried
nd did a mercantile business in Mill
oplon.

cuIty occurred today at the head

grew out OF shn interview Published

Hagie made derogatory statements
about the agency, branding II rs q
fraud which men were charged $50 to
Join and were then Dismissed for in
competency. Elliotte, IA president of
the agency, met T. II. Arnold, editor
OF the Necs, who reasserted
what Hagie had said. When
Hagle and Elliotte met at the
agency's room today the latter
demanded OF Hagie q. retraction.
BOGh men we're mad and used
rough language, In the mids. Of
which ElliOtts took a pistol from an
open drawer, and striking Hagie on
the head with the butt, pointed the
weapon at him, telling him to get
down on his knees and take back his
assertions Hagie then affirmed that
Arnold had misquoted him; that he
said nothing whatever deiogatory to
Elliotte or the agency and
promised to publish a card to
this effect in the papers. Hagie

turn from Birmingham and promises
Arnold some fun for misqnoting him.

How I Raised the Soft Bread.

After Sherman cut loose from Atlanta
on his march to the sea. the different de-
tachments of his troops concentrated at
Chattanooga and along the railroad to Dali
ton. They organized into divisions pro-
visionally. aud were shipped in hurry for
Nashville, Tennessee, without rations. I
was orderly of provisional division COM
manded by Colonel Ialloy, and, as we
neared Murfreesboro, the Colonel told me
to try and raise them something to eat.
There was a great number of trains there,
and we expected Hoods troops or Lyons
cavalry to make dash at any time upon
some of them. The trains were close to-
gether, and when one stopped they
al stopped, for wood and water.
The engines We kept stopping for
little ways south of Murfreesboro, which
gave me chance to get off and go ahead
into town, where I was joined by two
others on the same business. We hunted
the town of Murfreesboro all over; but if
any one had eatables they were hidden
away, and as a last resource we applied to
the negroes for information. They told
us the town had got everything at famine
prices, but there was yet some bread in the
government bakery. They doubted our
being able to get any. and showed us
where it was, that we might try. Sherman's
troops were not famed for bashfulness,
and in we went.
